Mani Karthik10 ways to kill your readership

Hey, have you tried to kill your readership base? It would be fun, why not try it?

Listen carefully, and implement the following step by step.

Now don’t skip any step, go according to the order.

  1. Don’t blog for three weeks in a row.
    Do absolutely nothing on your blog for three weeks. Moderate no comments, post no new articles.
  2. Write nothing innovative, instead write about the same things you’ve written already.
  3. Don’t respond to comments. People will ask you questions, but never reply. After all, they don’t pay you for it.
  4. Promote affiliate products. If possible, promote only affiliate products. Don’t write on anything else.
  5. Write about your personal life. Write about all the things you did morn to night.
  6. Don’t offer full feeds to your readers. They should not get free information you see.
  7. Write about that guy you don’t like.
  8. Never, ever link to anyone else. Your google juice is hard earned. Never pass it to someone else.
  9. If you don’t get any ideas to blog about, don’t blog. Wait for any idea to strike you.
  10. Often apologize for not writing frequently. Say sorry to readers every time you don’t blog.

Hope it all makes sense.

    As a novice blogger I enjoyed your “what not to do” approach. Comments on how I can make my blog better always welcome..even if it’s just a link to a post somewhere!

    I can’t say I agree with all of these. I write a personal blog, it is my main blog, and I have been successful in generating revenue from it. It needs to be done correctly though, but what doesn’t?

    I’d probably replace it with “Make Money Online Quests”. Those are dry, boring, and I actually ban commenters from commenting on my blog if they comment on my blog trying to steal my google juice with keyword rich titles. I read to be entertained or educated, not to be advertised to.

  4. #10 is my particular pet hate. Because, you know, there is nothing in my life but other people’s blogs, and if you haven’t written for a while, my life becomes empty.

    Good one.

    I won’t inch myself near to these activities because I have the hosting fee to be set off. :evil:

    What is the point of a blog (exclude personal journal blogs) if the blogger doesn’t want any readership? He must be crazy… :mrgreen:

    Heheh. It reminds me of one of my earlier posts – Top 10 ways to reduce traffic to your blog:

    http://wogan.blat.co.za/2008/01/23/top-10-ways-to-reduce-traffic-to-your-blog/

    Okay, so the top 3 are a little extreme ;) But they all happened to me (in just about that order, too) and I observed the effect it had on my traffic: A total flatline.

    Great post!

    “Nice” tips:)

    Thanks all.

    Rhys, I have news for you. There is no need to block comments, as it won’t take your Google juice, unless its a No “nofollow” one.
